The Commonwealth heavyweight champion Danny Williams angered the promoters of tomorrow's title fight against the British champion Matt Skelton when he stormed out of a press conference to publicise the event.

Williams, 32, was angered at being made to wait over an hour when Skelton failed to arrive because he was delayed by heavy traffic. The promoter Frank Warren described Williams' behaviour as "unprofessional" and had to face the television cameras and reporters with only Skelton by his side as he attempted to promote the contest at the Excel Arena. Skelton said: "I set off early and was genuinely held up by roadworks and traffic."
